His place in history as the epitome of villainy remains assured, even as conclusive evidence of his final moments, and time and place of his demise waits veiled in mystery and doubt...Films and televised documentaries fuel the flame with each showing, bringing more speculation to the argument over whether he died as most historians believe in his underground Berlin bunker, or escaped to live in hiding in a South American jungle...
Since even the recovery and final resting place of his earthly remains cannot be factually ascertained, the truth may elude the quest for some time...What is certain is that the only people who ever knew the exact truth were the ones who were there, and they may have had good reason to lie...
Rochus Misch was present in the underground bunker where Hitler and his new bride were said to have met their end...His assignment in the SS Fuehrer Escort Command in personal service to Adolf Hitler could only result if his fanaticism to the Nazi cause, and his worship of his Fuehrer had been accepted beyond question...His role in the bunker is often discounted as merely servitude until it is realized he wouldn't have been chosen for duty unless he was expected to do absolutely anything to carry out Hitler's wishes...
I believe that in light of Misch's known personal oath of loyalty, and his recruitment as a sober, obedient and not easily shaken personal protector of the Nazi dictator, he would have stood by his original testimony even unto death...Mine is an improvable theory just as all others from those who weren't there...
The most interesting lately published book on the subject, and one which I briefly reviewed earlier, is "Grey Wolf," in which authors Simon Dunstan and Gerrard Williams offered their theory of Hitler's escape from the bunker, and the resulting cover stories left behind...An interesting and readable book, it leaves little in the way of irrefutable evidence other than heavily redacted CIA and FBI memos...
In connection with this article's subject, the authors allege the Hitlers were parents to two children both conceived out of wedlock...Ursula (called Uschi) joined her parents in Patagonia in September 1945...She was said to be born New Year's Eve, 1938 in San Remo, Italy...The birth was hidden, and Eva's absence was explained away...The second live birth (Eva was said to have had three pregnancies with Hitler) produced another daughter...The authors allege that Eva left Hitler taking the children in 1954, having become disillusioned with her hidden life...
If true, the Hitler bloodline could have been extended and even expanded through the two daughters, but there may have been even more illegitimate children...Hitler was said to have had a torrid love affair with Tilly Fleischer whose daughter Giselle claimed claimed she was Hitler's daughter...The dictator, who famously stated he was married to Germany and faithful only to her, may have had any number of out-of-wedlock children who have carried his genetic code forward...
But this is all speculative, just as in the well acted film, "The Boys From Brazil," which posed the supposition of Hitler clones manufactured by the diabolical Dr. Josef Mengele, being nurtured and raised under the same conditions as the mad dictator in order to someday bring forth a new Reich...Not at all the product of speculation is the dilemma which has long faced the known descendants of his bloodline...
Adolf Hitler's half-brother, Alois Hitler Jr., a Berlin bartender during the Nazi regime, fathered three sons, and his half-sister, Angela Raubal, who served as his housekeeper, gave birth to two sons...In 2013, the five known extant great-nephews of Adolf Hitler were said to have entered into a pact to end the bloodline by fathering no children...The existence of this deliberate pact has been disputed by the Wikipedia article on Hitler's family......
One nephew, born William Patrick Hitler (later wisely changed to Stuart-Houston) served in the US Navy during WWII, having emigrated to America following a failed attempt at blackmail against his more famous uncle...Jean-Marie Loret, Hitler's illegitimate son from his days as a soldier on the front in WWI, served in the French Army against the Wehrmacht in WWII...Being only half French, the unproven charges of collaboration with the Gestapo could be argued either way...
Angela's daughter, Geli, Adolf Hitler's niece, had no children either from her incestuous relationship with her uncle, or any of her other sexual adventures...Her death, which occurred either by the hand of Hitler, or with his tacit approval even though it was ruled a suicide by Hitler's future Gestapo chief, precluded any further opportunities for child-bearing...
Even if an exact duplicate, genetically proven to be identical to Adolf Hitler were to surface today, it does not necessarily follow that he (or even she) would be pre-disposed to resurrect and continue the Nazi ideology...Such a person would have to know the results from the previous effort, and would also know how many students of history would line up to end such a career before it even began...
